Episode 75: Yasmin Nur on confronting self-harm

Kansas singer/songwriter Yasmin Nur comes onto the podcast for Episode 75. She talks to host Jason Schreurs about how music helps her control her self-harming thoughts and actions. Yasmin had her eyes opened by 90s alt rock and punk bands featuring powerful women.
